Heard an interesting conversation with Mike Greenburg on ESPN this a.m. The topic was raised that certain teams seem to make a lot of bonehead mistakes. When things like muffed punts and blown coverages and 15 penalties occur with certain teams, the inevitable response is "it's the players making the mistakes, not the coaches". Yet, when we see a team that is fundamentally sound we say the team is well coached. So which is it? Is a coach the cause when he has a sloppy team?

I made this point in a different thread. When you see the same mistakes year after year with different groups of players the blame needs to land on the head coach IMOdanfran wrote:Heard an interesting conversation with Mike Greenburg on ESPN this a.m. The topic was raised that certain teams seem to make a lot of bonehead mistakes.

Agree, I just posted that I am of the opinion that Rex is part of the problem not the solution. While this team is better talent wise then last years they are still not a playoff team... but what is disconcerting is the lack of discipline, the mental mistakes and poor execution and that goes to the HC.
I been a Rex supporter but he is alot like his DAD a great Def mind but sucko HC....

Cant argue the discipline point. Certain coaches don't seem to stress it-and as a result seem to wind up with teams that are penalized a lot. Also agree that Rex isn't a good HC, but an excellent DC.

So you're saying that those teams are undisciplined? I don't think the Seahawks are. I think they play a very tight defense that just draws a lot of penalties.

There is a fine line to walk between undisciplined and aggressive enough.
It requires BOTH.
1.) A good enough disciplinarian HC and more importantly - and what may ACTUALLY be the problem in NJ - assistant coaches.
AND
2.) Talented enough players that they can do what's asked of them from an effort perspective and STILL not go over the line while trying to perform at those top levels of "Y'all".
(Give your all.)
Right now, while there are some very good players on both sides of the ball, the penalties are coming, in part, from players who are NOT that good, trying their best to live up to Rex's and his assistant coach's expectations.
Winters, Colon, the DBs - but it IS kinda strange that players like Richardson are also making boneheaded mental errors.
Ah, youth, wasted on the young, so often.

Dan Quinn(who actually grew up miles from where the Jets facility is now) was my choice for HC if Ryan got fired after last season. Well, it appears as if Gary Myers of the NY Daily News is getting a head start on Rex being ousted.

Quinn would be intriguing. It would be following one defensive coach with another, but certainly a different personality than Rex. He also would bring in a 4-man front.
Now, the Jets are stacked at DL, more than LB. But do the pieces fit a 4-3?

Quinn was also the defensive line coach here under Mangini for a couple of seasons. He has experience with the 3-4. It's similar to Dunbar coming over from the Vikings 4-3. He had experience playing in a 3-4 under Buddy Ryan.
My favorite football book Collision Low Crossers
, is once again showing how Rex is not a very good HC. A nice man. A motivator. A defensive genius. However, that book exposed his many flaws for the head job. Flaws his own assistants began to acknowledge.

They should run a disclaimer on the bottom of the screen during Jet games like they do for actors playing doctors in commercials. " Hi I am Rex Ryan a DC playing a HC on TV during this game"

Remember, D. Harris (7 targets/7 rec/124 yds/TD) responsible for half of DETs pass production. That's coaching. Not secondary problems.

I don't think developing offensive players is Rex's strength. To be blunt, he knows as much about it as I do. Rex probably should have stayed a DC (which he will be again, as soon as next year) where he excels. Not HC material.

I wonder if he'd make a good college HC?

I agree with you for the most part.
I say that to say this, teams that play aggressive are the ones that win, which is probably why the last 3 super bowl winners led the league in penalties. But our penalties aren't usually playing aggressive, its 12 men on the field, false starts, illegal procedures...stupid penalties that destroy drives. We have way too many of those. You can't play afraid to make penalties, IMO, but you can't shoot yourself in the foot at inopportune times too much either. We have way too much of that.

Seriously? Dude, what recruit wouldn't sign to be in what he's selling. He'd put Saban to bed with his recruiting speech.
Paid professionals are inspired by his words, I have no doubt 17-19 year olds wouldn't be all over that.

The first bad indication that Rex might not be a good HC choice, is when Ozzie Newsome & the Ravens had zero interest to promote him from DC to HC. They passed on Rex for a reason, that we are just figuring out now ?

That's not true. newsome wanted Rex and the owner wanted Harbough. He was down to the final 2 and they selected Harbough over him...the players were very upset with the decision at the time.
"By now, Bisciotti's reasons to go with Harbaugh over Ryan are well documented. The owner, who has had great success in the business world, wasn't just looking for a head coach but for a CEO for his organization, a polished and humble leader who could relate to players and coaches but also corporations and sponsors."

Absolutely correct. That is a matter of instilling discipline and that falls squarely on the coaching staff, who get their lead from the head coach. I love Rex - he bleeds green more than any other coach I can remember - and I really wanted him to succeed. But this year has made it clear to me that he, at this time, is not suited to be a head coach - no discipline, no oversight, no input/control of the offense. Loyal BEYOND a fault to his players and to his organization.
I suspect that he might get another HC job down the road, but I don't think he will behave any different than during his tenure here - he won't be like BB who seemed to learn from his time with the Browns. Any success he may have in the future with another team will be more due to personnel and those around him - coaches, mgmt, than to his HC abilities, sorry to say.

I can't see Rex coaching College kids, and I doubt any smart NFL owner would hire him as HC. His true calling in life is to follow in the Ryan dynasty as a NFL Defensive Coordinator. Thats his true calling, he's not smart enough to be a NFL HC.
